KXST

KDWN (720 AM) is a commercial radio station in Las Vegas, Nevada, owned and operated by Audacy, Inc., which is currently silent. The station pronounces its call letters as "K-Dawn". The station's studios are located in the unincorporated Clark County area of Spring Valley. Programming is now heard on 250-watt FM translator station K268CS at 101.5 MHz. KDWN aired a talk radio format. It ran several nationally syndicated conservative talk hosts, along with local shows, most of which are brokered programming. National hosts included Brian Kilmeade, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin. Other hours were devoted to money, health, real estate and sports. In most cases, the local hosts paid for their time on the air and were permitted to run their own advertising. Most hours on weekdays began with world and national news from Fox News Radio. A local staff provided Nevada news, weather and traffic. Weather coverage was supplied by NBC Network affiliate KSNV. KDWN's original 50,000-watt transmitter was on Galleria Drive in Henderson, and was nondirectional in the day and used three inline towers to produce a directional night signal nulled toward WGN on the same channel in Chicago. In 2020, it moved to a new site shared with KXST on North Sloan Lane in North Las Vegas. KDWN broadcast with 25,000 wats during daytime hours and 7,500 watts at night, still protecting WGN with an asymmetrical three-tower pattern. While the old nighttime signal could be heard throughout most of the Western United States, north into Canada and south into Mexico., the new signal is more economical, continuing to cover the same metro with less spent power. KDWN also broadcast using HD radio technology and is heard on the HD3 digital subchannel of co-owned KMXB in Henderson. KDWN was Southern Nevada's primary entry point station for the Emergency Alert System. KDWN, along with KXST, ceased operations on March 2, 2023.
